[D6: LA: Open] The learning curve

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"Well the clan is the oldest minor clan." She was reminded of that the previous evening. "The clan had suffered a lot... and I don't know something about peach blossoms gives people hope." The Kitsune chuckled "I am musing."

[Doji Yoshino]

"It's a charming thing to muse on, ne? It's a beautiful thought. Your Clan has a history to be proud of. I wonder what flower might fit the Crane... is it shabby I am straight away thinking of different light blue flowers?" Yoshino ponders aloud with a dry laugh.

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"How about a lilly... did lady Doji have a favourite flower?" The Kitsune gave it some thought. "Perhaps a Lilly... I don't know why I think Lady Doji Favourite flower could be a lilly."

[Doji Yoshino]

"Hmm, she likely did, but I haven't heard what. A lily would be nice. Many of my clan mates do like lilies." She looked around. "I'm surprised there aren't any planted here."

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"Yeah... I think it should be mentioned to Doji sama." She nodded. "Crab would be difficult to pinpoint a flower... must be resilient or mean such thing."

[Doji Yoshino]

Some possibilities spun through her mind. Yoshino settled on one pretty quickly. It matched her idea of Crab warriors. "Perhaps a blazing star? They grow tall, they look a little like a tetsubo, they're very hard to remove... they can be relied upon to flower again year after year."

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"That sounds like quite the flower to represent the Crab." Shizenko nodded."The Dragon might be alazeas... their yellow color and simple form."

[Doji Yoshino]

"I like that." She crossed her arms. "A rose for the Scorpion?"

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"How about morning glory for Scorpion?" She tilted her head at little Raakun that is now offering a flower to the Doji.

[Doji Yoshino]

She paused to accept the flower curiously. "Ah, thank you. It's very pretty." Yoshino twirled the stem between her fingers to spin the face.

"Morning glory is interesting. Why it?" She asks Shizenko.

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"One cannot trust the Scorpion... before the flower blooms it looks pink but when it opens it becomes blue." She explained.

Raakun bowed and ran off. Shizenko giggled. "Such a gentleman."

[Doji Yoshino]

Yoshino clapped her hands together. "Good point! Yes, that would fit."

She watched the tanuki scamper off. "That was sweet."

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"What kind of flower would the Mantis be... it is difficult since they have such mix, the former Wasp clan and the former Centepede can beside the Yoritomo Alliance." She gave it some thought.

Raakun was playing with some sunflowers.

[Doji Yoshino]

"I've had few interactions with them..." She shook her head slightly. Nothing came to mind. "Is Raakun suggesting sunflowers?" Yoshino asks, watching him.

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"I think he want the seeds. But a sunflower could work... or maybe an orchid." She mused

[Doji Yoshino]

"It's fun to think about, ne? Actually, strange question, but now I'm curious. When you were a child, did you also make flower jewelry?"

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"If by flowery jewelry you mean leaves necklaces. Then yes... I would put them on Aoiko chan. She was a great fox." The girl sighed. "I could mix origami with flowers maybe a new take in ikebana."

[Doji Yoshino]

"Aoiko-chan? A... friend fox?" She didn't describe it as a pet this time. "Leaves could work, but I had in mind flower jewellery. The stem can be poked through the bud, and the same with the next, until you form a circle of flowers."

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"Mother used to make me flower crowns." She smiled at the memory. "She would find the peonies and lillies."

[Doji Yoshino]

"Yes!" Yoshino enthused. "Just like th... like that." She forced herself back into a calm mood befitting of a samurai-ko. "Your hair is very eye catching and pretty. Green would be the natural contrasting colour to further draw the eye." She laughed awkwardly for a moment. "So, a silly curiosity."
